913 A bandit (2)

When Norman reached location for 11 o'clock board meeting, the familiar conference room was almost full.

His spot is waiting for him, next to Mr. Stocker. On Norman's right is an empty chair, that spot is reserved for Mr. Bally.

It took Norman few takes to recognize young lady on Jasper's left as Ellie, girl who joined them for dinner on Saturday.

Norman was about to flip the lid, why is Jasper bringing his girlfriend to a board meeting? What kind of irresponsible behavior this is?

His fury increased when he saw Ellie look straight at him and nod in greeting with a smile on her face. Why is she even smiling at him? Didn't she get the message that he DOES NOT like her? She must have a low IQ if she missed all the obvious signs. Norman snorted while thinking that his son likes such girls, not the smart ones.
